UW, RS and GC selected and provided matched specimens.
For five of the 19 specimens there were no most similar NS gene sequences returned to match the specimen's actual A/HN subtype (Table S7).
For five of the 19 specimens there were no most similar M gene sequences returned to match the specimen's actual A/HN subtype (Table S6).
Plasma specimens for this project were plated so that case and matched control specimens were analyzed together.
Of note, there was very little or no expression of PSGR in many normal specimens in comparison with the generally high expression of PSGR seen in matched tumor specimens.
(Meaning: When the expert says specimen X matches source Y, there's a 10% probability he's wrong).
In addition, we observe enrichment of ALDH1-stained cells in matched tumor-specimens obtained before and after neoadjuvant therapy with sorafenib and RT, whereas there was no evidence of CSC enrichment following clinical treatment with pazopanib.
It contained 48 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human GIST tissue specimens and 9 matched normal gut tissue specimens.
We detected strong enzyme activity in 32 (92%) of the 35 colon carcinomas while there was no activity in 30 (86%) of 35 matched normal colonic tissue specimens and only very weak activity in the remainder.
Voucher specimens were matched against the reference vouchers available at the Herbier de Guyane, Cayenne (CAY), and they were deposited there.
